About US
Founded in 2010 by Jessica Hein, CCPDT Certified Professional Dog Trainer and IAABC Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, we provide in-home dog training and pet behavior consulting using positive reinforcement training methods and today's most progressive and effective techniques.
Through the process of rewarding, shaping, cueing, capturing, and relevance coaching, we teach the dog the benefits of both compliance and making good choices. You will learn the communication patterns, dog training techniques and routines necessary to develop a healthy, happy relationship with your furry friend for years to come!
As a Colorado small business, we take time to engage with each and every one of our clients. We are not driven by making profits; we want to educate and provide support to our clients to ensure they can enjoy their dog, every step of the way.
We take a holistic approach to training and improving the lifestyle of dogs. We train dogs (and their people), but we also discuss canine communication, behavior, socialization, healthy nutritional choices, routine healthcare, and more. We want to ensure behavioral, physical & emotional wellness in our beloved dogs.
Now providing reward-based dog training and dog behavioral counseling to Southwest Denver, Littleton, Lakewood, Morrison, Wheat Ridge, Highlands Ranch, and Golden.

Jessica Hein
Jessica is a Colorado native and animal lover. Even as a child, it was apparent she had deep love for all creatures, and raised a myriad of pet animals from frogs and lizards to rabbits, cats, birds and of course, dogs! She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Denver, and began training dogs professionally in 2007. In 2010, she formed Sit.Stay.Fetch! in Littleton, Colorado and the company has since flourished due to client referrals. Jessica is a CCPDT Certified Professional Dog Trainer, International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants Certified Dog Behavioral Consultant, and Association of Professional Dog Trainers Professional Member. She is experienced in developing dog training and behavioral therapy plans for all dog breed-types and temperaments, and specializes in helping families with their pet's behavioral wellness. When she's not working with animals, she is likely playing music, gardening, or enjoying the outdoors with her family, including her husband Daryl, her daughter Caden, and her own two dogs, Kai (Pointer/Lab Mix) & Coba (Great Pyreness/German Shepherd Mix).
